GAME.

Application filed April 12,

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE BOND, a citi zen of the United States, residing at Pittsbur h, in the county of Allegheny and State of Tennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Games, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to games, and more particularly to what I term chicerpa or game of threes.

One of the main objects of the invention is to provide a game which is interesting and attractive and will cause the players to exercise careful attention so as to provide mental recreation having instructive value. Further objects will appear from the detailed description.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of the game board;

Figure 2 is a plan view of two of the checkers or game pieces;

Figure 3 is a section through one of the game pieces.

The game is to be played with suitable pieces or checkers which are colored differently, as red and blue, there being twelve checkers of each color. These checkers are moved'on a board 1 which is provided with a plurality of circular spaces 2 which are colored black or any other suitable or preferred color, these spaces being arranged in rows or sets of three disposed transversely of the board and at angles thereto. The circular spaces 2 are connected by parallel spaces :torming paths 3 forming a border about the board and by supplemental substantially X-shaped communicating paths 41: at each side of the board, shown in Figure 1 and which are disposed at an angle to and intersect the paths 3.

In playing the game, each player, of

which there are two only, is provided with twelve game pieces or checkers, the player having the blue checkers playing first and placing his checker on any one of the spaces 2. The player having the red checkers plays next and places his checker on any one of the spaces 2. This alternate playing continues until each player has placed all of his checkers, after which the checkers can be moved in any direction on the board but must be moved along the paths 3 or 4. The player who succeeds in placing three checkers in a row is entitled to remove one of his opponents checkers board.

or pieces from the The one who succeeds in winning all of the checkers or pieces of his opponent wins the game.

In )la in the ame careful attention is required of each player to block his opponent and prevent him from placing three checkers 1n a row.

It isa the other color.

The game played in the manner outlined is very interesting and is of value as teaching the players concentration and care 111 figuring their d-iflierent What I claim is I A game board having its plain surface prov1ded wlth a border formed from communicating parallel paths. substantially X-shaped paths intersecting the parallel paths, and circular spaces iiormed 1n the paths and arranged in rows as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

GEORGE BOND.
